maybe this will help: http://www.egg-incubator.biz/Embryo-Growth.html
 how  much you´ll be able to see also it depends on the colour of your eggs. i found that white ones are the easiest to candle and light brown ones are okay, too. but blue ones are challenging and dark brown ones(like maran eggs) almost impossible.
